When ever Im on a shoot and have to do the models makeup, or I'm doing my own shoot and doing the makeup too, I always think about the prepping of the models skin. This creates a really fresh and plump canvas for the makeup application. I always cleanse, tone and moisturise before makeup application, and I try to encourage the model to come in completely makeup and product free. Some models come in to the studio and they have already done half of their skin and primed. The problem with this is that, too much time has past. The primer and under products would have set into the the models skin and dried. So I always start from fresh as soon as the models come in, this helps meld the makeup with the face products and creates a really youthful dewy base. I do this even if Im doing a matte look, as It just looks a lot cleaner and the products don't budge up in certain areas.
I always check my models skin to see what their skin type is, and I keep in mind the weather and season, as in the winter months it can be colder so can dry out your skin more. With this I tend to use a heavier moisturiser, this helps really nourish the skin and hydrate it.
I usually buy my face products from big name stores, but lately have been looking into Tk Maxx as they have a huge discounted range of skin care and sometimes have really expensive products discounted to anything up to 75% which is amazing value. I usually tend to get organic skin care from here though, as I like to research non organic products first to see if they are any good. Organic products are safer and cheaper to take risks with as they are all natural products.
